Pursuant to the FJ Purchase Agreement, FJ Fund purchased 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “FJ Purchased Shares”) on September 27, 2013, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 Also on August 12, 2013, the Company and Bridge entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Bridge Purchase Agreement” and, together with the FJ Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”).

On October 2, 2013 (the “Effective Time”), the Company reclassified the Common Stock pursuant to which each 200 shares of issued Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time became 1 share of Common Stock, and therefore the Reporting Persons currently own an aggregate of 877,800 Purchased Shares. The funds used by the Reporting Persons were from working capital of FJ Fund and Bridge, respectively.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 is incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock in the ordinary course of business because of their belief that the Common Stock represented an attractive investment.
Subject to the limitations imposed by the Purchase Agreements and applicable federal and state securities laws, the Reporting Persons may seek to dispose of the Common Stock from time to time, subject to market conditions and other investment considerations. To the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreements and applicable bank regulatory limitations, each Reporting Person may directly or indirectly acquire additional shares of Common Stock or associated rights or securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock, depending upon an ongoing evaluation of its investment in the Common Stock and securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock, applicable legal restrictions, prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements of such Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations.
To the extent permitted under the Purchase Agreements and the passivity commitments that the Reporting Persons have provided to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), described below, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Company’s Board of Directors, other stockholders of the Company and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, composition of the Board of Directors, management, strategy and future plans of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Purchase Agreement and subject to applicable law, rules or regulations, Bridge is entitled to designate one person (the “Board Representative”) for election to the Board of Directors of the Company, for so long as Bridge beneficially owns at least 50% of the Bridge Purchased Shares (the “Qualifying Ownership Interest”). The Bridge Purchase Agreement also provides that for so long as Bridge has a Qualifying Ownership Interest, the Company shall, subject to applicable laws, rules or regulations, invite or cause to be invited a person designated by Bridge and reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board Observer”) to attend meetings of the Board of Directors of AnchorBank, fsb, the Company’s banking subsidiary (the “Bank”) and all committees thereof in a nonvoting observer capacity. For so long as Bridge (i) holds any Common Stock and (ii) the Board Representative is not a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company will invite the Board Observer to attend meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Bank and all committees thereof in a nonvoting observer capacity. Pursuant to these provisions, Martin Friedman, the Managing Member of FJ Management, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company.
The foregoing reference to and description of the Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2 and 3 and are incorporated herein by reference.
Other than as described in this Item 4, each of the Reporting Persons has no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the events set forth in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D. However, each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to change its plans at any time, as it deems appropriate, in light of its ongoing evaluation of (i) its business and liquidity objectives, (ii) the Company's financial condition, business, operations, competitive position, prospects and/or share price, (iii) industry, economic and/or securities markets conditions, (iv) alternative investment opportunities, & (v) other relevant factors.

Item 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
On August 12, 2013, (i) the Company and FJ Fund entered into the FJ Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Company and Bridge entered into the Bridge Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, FJ and Bridge (together, the “Investors”) purchased an aggregate of 175,560,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) on September 27, 2013. On October 2, 2013 (the “Effective Time”), the Company reclassified the Common Stock pursuant to which each 200 shares of issued Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time became 1 share of Common Stock, and therefore the Reporting Persons currently own an aggregate of 877,800 Purchased Shares.
The following is a description of certain terms of the Purchase Agreements:
Representations and Warranties. Customary representations and warranties were made by the Company to the Investors relating to the Company, its business, and the issuance of the Common Stock as well as customary representations and warranties by the Investors to the Company. The Company agreed to indemnify the Investors for breaches of its representations and warranties, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Purchase Agreements.
Board Representation. Pursuant to the Bridge Purchase Agreement, Bridge is entitled to designate the Board Representative for election to the Board of Directors of the Company for so long as Bridge owns a Qualifying Ownership Interest, subject to applicable law, rules or regulations. For so long as Bridge (i) has a Qualifying Ownership Interest, the Company will, subject to applicable laws, rules or regulations, invite or cause to be invited the Board Observer to attend meetings of the Bank and all committees thereof in a nonvoting observer capacity, and (ii) holds any Common Stock and the Board Representative is not a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company will invite the Board Observer to attend meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Bank and all committees thereof in a nonvoting observer capacity. Pursuant to these provisions, Martin Friedman, the managing member of FJ Management – which is the managing member of FJ Fund, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company.
Avoidance of Control. The Company agreed in the Purchase Agreements to not knowingly take any action which would reasonably be expected to result in the Investors or their respective affiliates becoming, or controlling, a “savings and loan holding company” within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (the “HOLA”). Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is permitted under the Purchase Agreements to knowingly take any action (including any redemption, repurchase, or recapitalization of Common Stock or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock in each case, where the Investors are not given the right to participate in such redemption, repurchase or recapitalization to the extent of the Investor’s pro rata portion), that would reasonably be expected to pose a substantial risk that (i) the Investor’s equity of the Company (together with equity of the Company owned by such Investor’s affiliates (as such term is used under the HOLA) would exceed 24.99% of the Company’s total equity or (ii) the Investor’s ownership of any class of voting securities of the Company (together with the ownership by the Investor’s affiliates (as such term is used under the HOLA) of voting securities of the Company) would exceed 9.9% of such class, in each case without the prior written consent of such Investor.
Each of the Company and the Investors agreed in the respective Purchase Agreements to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that neither such Investor nor any of its respective affiliates will become, control, or be deemed to control a “savings and loan holding company” within the meaning of the HOLA. The Investors also agreed not to take, permit or allow any action that would cause any Company subsidiary to become a “commonly controlled insured depository institution” (as that term is defined for purposes of 12 U.S.C. §1815(e), as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and any successor thereto) with respect to any institution that is not a direct or indirect Company subsidiary.
Transfer Restrictions. Investors are not permitted under the Purchase Agreements to sell or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Shares prior to the six (6) month anniversary of their acquisition of the Purchased Shares except under certain circumstances to permitted transferees, and any such sale or disposition must be in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any other applicable securities laws.
Registration Rights. The Company has granted the Investors customary registration rights with respect to the Common Stock acquired by the Investors in connection with the Purchase Agreements. Pursuant to such registration rights, the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Securities as promptly as practicable (and in any event no more than ninety (90) days) after the closing date of the acquisition of the Purchased Shares, subject to certain exceptions including with respect to Common Stock that cannot be sold under a registration statement as a result of the transfer restrictions in the Purchase Agreements described above.
Preemptive Rights. Under each Purchase Agreement, so long as the Investor owns a Qualifying Ownership Interest, if at any time after the date the Purchase Agreement was executed the Company proposes to issue any equity (including shares of Common Stock or shares of preferred stock), or any securities, options or debt that are convertible or exchangeable into equity or that include an equity component (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (i) any issuance of New Securities to management, consultants, employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to management or employee incentive programs or plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (including any such programs or plans in existence on the date hereof), (ii) any issuance, delivery or sale of New Securities by the Company to any person as consideration in connection with (but not in connection with raising capital to fund) (1) an acquisition or strategic business combination approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (2) an investment by the Company approved by the Board of Directors in any party which is not prior to such transaction an affiliate of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, stock swap, sale of assets or securities, or otherwise), (iii) any issuance, delivery or sale of New Securities in any registered public offering or (iv) any issuance of New Securities in connection with any stock split, stock dividend paid on a proportionate basis to all holders of the affected class of capital stock or recapitalization approved by the Board of Directors of the Company), then the Investor is required under the Purchase Agreement to be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company for the same price and on the same terms as such securities are proposed to be offered to others, up to the amount of New Securities in the aggregate required to enable the Investor to maintain its proportionate equivalent interest in the Common Stock immediately prior to any such issuance of New Securities.
The foregoing reference to and description of the Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2 and 3 and are incorporated herein by reference.
Passivity Commitments. In connection with the Purchase Agreements, the Investors and FJ Management made certain customary passivity commitments to the Federal Reserve in a commitment letter to ensure that the Reporting Persons will not, among other things, exercise or attempt to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
